My sweet Aunt Nellie –
I’ve been thinking about my memories of Uncle Richard. He is probably up in heaven showing other angels how they can catch a grasshopper right out of the weeds by the pond…no need for even finding worms or lures. As he told me, the fish like grasshoppers best anyway! He loved you fiercely – a love that’s rare and wonderful. He loved his family. He loved God. He went above and beyond to make those around him happy. And he sure did. He had an unforgetable laugh and smile. Sending you peace and love. Sure wish we could be at Nunn Cemetery with you. Love that peaceful hill. I love you.
